I was watching Fawlty Towers last night and was struck just good the episode 'The Germans' is, not from a laughs point of view particularly but in its structure.
There are effectively 3 episodes in one - the hospital, the hotel fire and arguing with the Germans. Just how was it possible to get all that to work in a 30 minute time frame?
My favourite FT episode is 'Communications Problems' (Mrs Richards) but 'The Germans' is the best in terms of construction.
Can you give an example that betters it?
